What could be wrong with my car? I want to have a clue before going to a Mechanic.
Symptoms
-turn the key and hear one click (not continuous like it would be for an alternator)
-radio, lights, and heater work
-when mechanic jumped it, it worked and turn on fine
-replaced battery and drove home
-now it won't start again after I turned it off.
Conclusions/ideas
-could be the battery terminals and wires are conducting electricity properly
-can't be the starter, or alternator because it DID work, meaning they do function mechanically
-???
Can anyone help? Not a car head, and this is my first car with my first real car problem away from home (college) so I don't have uncles to help.
p.s. in case it matters, its a 96 chevy blazer
